I guess this started for me when i was 19. I was watching my dad die before my eyes, and at that piont the only support i had was food. It made the hurt not seem so bad. But as the years went on, my wieght has went up and down, up and down. It really hit me 2 weeks ago when i went to the dr. I stepped on that scale i was 225. And when he read my blood work i was out of control, a heart attach waiting to happen is what Dr Pat told me. And i had soooo many excuses why it was the way it was. I dont have time to eat right, Im to busy,Im getting ready to move life is to hecktic to eat right. But the main one is i am out of control. I let stress over come and eat my way to feel better... So here I am again going down this road But for the last time. I have to much to be healthy for. I have a WONDERFUL husband who is as supportive as can be. I will be moving the end of this month to Indiana. So there is a whole new chapter of my life to live.

I need encouragement

IDK why today i am having such a hard time staying on track... I feel my stress building and all i want to do is eat. I am trying to stay out of the kitchen, But i also see my family being able to eat what they want and its killing me
 
taking a nice long walk is a good way to reduce the stress, get you out of the kitchen and get some gentle exercise.

good luck, you can do it !
 
Made it thru another day

We yesterday was not to good. Lots of stress with this move coming up... I have to find a way to channel my energys other ways without eating my way thru it. Hubby and i going out for a walk this am. Hope this is a start for both of us to get healthy.
He leaves tomorrow to go to the new house to get things ready hope i can handle this. I have lived in this house all my life. I think i am morning the loss of our home. Why cant i see its just wood and plaster. Home is where our family is. This is deffinatly a hard time to be loosing wieght. But i am NOT giving up. My health depends on it.
For some reason yesterday i wanted to cheat so bad. Son came out of the mall with one of those double doozies. Thought i may have to knock him down for it lol.

Well today has deffinatly been better, Still alot of emotion thats driving me nuts hope once the move is over that will go away a bit. Its change I am NOT good with change at all. And i do eat when im happy, sad, Or stressed. Idk how to change that, maybe its just human nature. We have been planning this move since b 4 Thanksgiving i should b ok with it by now. But I`m not. hope things get better soon. :sifone:

Soooo excited i think im finally on the right track
 
An 11lb weight loss is awesome! Keep up the good work!
And a little tip for you if you REALLY REALLY can't get away from eating something when you feel emotional is to munch on some celery. It's 80% water, really crunchy so it seems like a snack and you burn more calories eating it than the celery contains.
 
good morning all... HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!! I havent posted for a few days, been alot going on . Alot of emotion with the move in a week and a half. Hubby is in Indiana since last Monday. Been a hard week for me. Sometimes i wonder if this was the best time to start this journey again. But i know health wise i have to do this for myself and my family.
